This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ureter to ileum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0T1707A

UNSPSC 85732928 Bypass left ureter to ileum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code reveal a significant mismatch: the code's nominal scope is a surgical technique for urological reconstruction, yet the opportunities being solicited are occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out networks. None of these opportunities involve urological surgical reconstruction or the procedure named in the code. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader state and local health services procurement activity across multiple jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension boards, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks for municipal employees, proposals due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, proposals due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, responses due September 25, 2026), and Collier County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, proposals due April 9, 2026) are issuing the recent solicitations. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. This code's application to these health services RFPs and RFIs suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement systems or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health services and occupational medicine work.
